Stamped Image Swap - January 2009

[craftyaunt]

Hi Everyone,

Here is January's stamped image swap. If there is anything in the instructions that you need explained, just post your questions here in this thread.

Signup Deadline: 1/17/09
Mailing Deadline: 1/31/09

Theme: All Occasion

Hostess: Sue Bond (Canada)


If you would like to Join in this Swap:

Sign up here in this thread.

Your choice of at least 3 different all occasion stamps to be imprinted in black ink on white or cream cardstock. You can do more than 3 stamps if you wish.

Neatly cut each stamped image into a square or rectangle to fit the image.

Stamped images need to be no smaller than 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches and no larger than 4 x 4 inches.

Image should be able to stand alone...image should be able to be used on its own and not need to be part of a multi-stamped image.

Send in ?? copies of each image. (we have to wait to see how many sign up)

Please choose quality images to send.

Pick images that you would use on your cards!

As soon as you decide which stamps you will be using, send me a detailed description with size and manufacture (if known). This will help keep a variety of images.

I will post the descriptions here so that everyone will know who is sending which images.

I will send out an e-mail to each participants with my mailing address. Anyone living outside of Canada will need to send money to cover the return postage + self addressed envelope. You will need to send postage money equal to whatever it cost you to send the envelope to me. Anyone living in Canada can send a self-addressed stamped envelope.

I will swap out the images once I have them all.

Participants are asked to post here when they receive their images.

Anyone just starting out and doesn't have 3 different stamps...let me know, I sold SU for 3 years and I have 300+ stamps (SU and others). I can stamp some images for you.



Ilona - 4 different old-Dutch houses (4 big ones, and the same, but small), a bike and a fence. The set is called "Delft Blue", after the traditional Dutch paintings. Stamped in blue on white. RECEIVED

Chris- bug with the words Love Bug; heart with the words Angel Heart; 3 hearts joined together RECEIVED

Darlene- bird bath with bird; 5 birdhouses in one image; birdhouse with wrapped vine RECEIVED

Sue- house; lighthouse; boathouse with boats docked; basket of flowers; wagon filled with flowers; ladies hat with a couple of flowers attached. COMPLETED

[Brenda Cook]

WOW....this seems interesting.

Count me in - I will try anything once.

[Ilona]

I will participate in this! Don't have many stamps (yet), but have to start somewhere, right?
I can exchange something you on the other side of the ocean might like as it will be unique there: 4 different old-Dutch houses (4 big ones, and the same, but small), a bike and a fence. The set is called "Delft Blue", after the traditional Dutch paintings. Can I stamp these in blue on white?

Can I paypal you the postage money?

[craftyaunt]

That sounds wonderful Ilona. Blue on white seems very appropriate for "Delft Blue".
Yes you can send the money by paypal. I will pm my paypal e-mail address when I send my mailing address.
Thanks.
